BAKING-OVEN.

Speeeation of Letters Patent.

. Patented July 1e, 1907.

Application filed December 31, 1906. Serial No. 350,150.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ELLA M. DIXON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sparksville, in the county of Jackson and Stateof Indiana, have invented certain new and useful'Improvements in Baking-Ovens, of Which the following is a specification. v

My invention relates to improvements in baking ovens. Its objects are to provide for the proper baking action ofthe oven and to carry out that end in a simple, economic and satisfactory manner.

It consists of certain structural features or instrumentalities substantially as hereinafter fully disclosed and speciically pointed out by the claims.

In the accompanying drawing illustrating the preferred embodiment of my inventionFigure l is a vertical section produced through the same and the ordinary range-Hue below the oven-chamber. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section taken through the oven-chamber and viewing the invention in plan view. Fig. 3 is an enlarged vertical section of the invention.

In the disclosure of my invention, I form the bottom plate l oi the usual oven-chamber 2 of a stove or range 3, with a preferably circular opening 4, through which the direct action ofthe heat of the latter may be utilized as presently seen. Said bottom-plate of the oven-chamber, which thus forms the top portion of the range-flue, has provided or formed therein a circular i or annular depression or track-way 5, the inner wall of which also forms the outline of the opening 4.

A second plate of disk 6, preferably circular'in outline or contour, is arranged to fill in snugly the opening 4, and yet be turned or revolved therein, to form a tuin-table upon which is placed the baking or basting pan (not shown) for conducting the baking operation. Said disk or turn-table is mounted and revoluble upon the upper pivot-forming end of a post 8 fixed to the bottom wall of the range-flue as shown; and upon the underside` of said turn-table are suitably hung a number of rolls 9 traveling in the circular depression or track-Way 5 for the retention of said turn-table in balanced operative position. It is obvious that this anangement allows of the requisite turning or shifting of said turn-table, together with the baking or basting pan placed thereon, as in providing for the proper baking operation of the pan-contents as will be readily appreciated. As previously stated, the direct-heat- `ing action of the range-nue is thus transmitted to the turn-table bearing the baking or" basting pan, the advantages of which are apparent.

I claiml. A baking oven having its bottom-plate provided with a central heat passage or opening andan annular depression or track-way with its'inner Wall forming the outline of said passage or opening, and a turn-table arranged Within said opening or passage and equipped upon-its 1111-' dei-side with rolls traveling in said track-way.

2r. A baking oven having its bottom-plate provided with a central heat passage or opening and an annular depression or track-Way, with its inner wall forming the outline of said'opening or passage, a post having a pivotfprming upper end andy fixed -to the bottom Wall of the range-hue, and a turn-table revolubly mounted upon said upper end pivot of said post and arranged to ll in said opening or passage.

In testimony whereof I aIiX lny signature, in presence of two witnesses.

ELLA M. DIXON.
